Other Customized Files and Supported Files from Other Products

In addition to the custom files that must be deployed to specific locations, Reflection also supports the following files.

Customized files that you can deploy

Unlike other customized session files, { entity.PROD_EMULATE_SHORT} doesn’t look for these files in the user data directory, so you don‘t need to deploy them to specific locations.

Other supported files

The best practice for handling legacy files or files from other products is to convert them to the Reflection Desktop file format and then deploy the new files.

For a list of Reflection Desktop files that are deployed to specific locations, see Customized Files that Must be Deployed to Specific Locations.
